WINDOW-BEAD FASTENER.

Specification of Letters Patent.

. Patented March 28, 1909.

Application filed December 14, 1907. Serial No. 406,448.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, THOMAS J. DANIEL, a citizen of the United States ol America, residing in East St. Louis, in the county ol' St.

Clair and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and usel'ul Improvements in I'Vindow-Bead Fasteners, o'l' which the 'following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part ol` this specification.

My invention relates to a window in which the stop strips that confine the sashes of the window are movably supported in order that sashes may be withdrawn l'rom the windowl5 frame for the purpose of cleaning the glass therein. An example oi' this kind ol' window is to be found in Letters Patent ol' the United States No. 415,095, issued to mysell' and others, November 12,1889, and upon which the present invention is in the nature ol' an iinprovement.

The object of the present invention is to furnish means whereby the stop strips may be retained snugly against the sides ol' a window frame when in sash holding position.

Figure I is a vertical longitudinal section of ya portion of a window and window vl' rame having my improvements incorporated therein. FigII is an enlarged detailviewo'l a portion of a window frame containing a part ol my improvements. Fig. III is an enlarged lace viewof aportionolI one of the stopstrips, having located thereon elements which are coperable with certain ol' the parts illustrated in Fig. II. Fig. IV is an enlarged detail view of the parts illustrated in Figs. II and III of the drawing, showing the saine in an assembled position. Fig. V is an enlarged detail 'iront view ol the parts shown in Fig.

40 IV. Fig. VI is an enlarged horizontal section taken on line VI--VI oll Fig. IV.

A designates a side of a window frame.

B is the lower sash and C the upper sash of the Window. The sashes B and C are adapted to be operated in a window frame as usual.

1 designates one of a pair ol stop strips by which the lower or inner sash B is confined in the window frame, which strips extend downwardly 'from the upper end ol' the window frame. The stop strips l are adapted to be moved to permit the withdrawal ol' the window sash from the window frame and are pivotally attached to the sides of the window l'raine by pivot screws 2, shown in dotted lines in Fig. I Each stop strip l has mounted in it at its rear side a retaining screw 3, (see Figs. III, V, and VI,) that is adapted to enter a groove A in. the adjacent side ol' the window iframe.

I is a retaining plate attached to the side ol" the window lranic at the location of the groove A therein, and in which is a slot 5 that is in registration with the slot A in the window frame. The slot in this plate is adapted to receive the retaining screw 3 carried by the stop strip l in order that when the stop strip is moved inwardly into its normal position to con'line the window sash, said strip will be held from movement in a direction away from thc sido ol the window frame, d ue to the engagement of the head of the retaining screw against the back of the retaining plate si, as shown in F IV, V, and VI.

For the purpose of holding the stop strips l in their inner or sash coniining positions at points intermediate ol their upper and lower ends I utilize a catch hook 6 that is pivoted at 7 to each stop strip at a `point that causes said hook to be in juxtaposition with the retaii'iing plate 4 when tho stop strip is in sash confining position. The catch .hook is adapted to enter a notch 4. in the adjacent retaining plate, as seem most clearly in Fig. VI, and when it is entered into this notch, the plate serves to hold the catch hook and the stop strip from movement in a direction away from the window sash.

I claim A stop strip fastener for windows comprising a slotted plate, a headed stud and a catch hook for preventing the disengagement oi" the headed stud from the slotted plate.

In testimony whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this eleventh day ol" December, 1907.

THOMAS J. DANIEL.
